The Current State of Real Estate in Pakistan: Trends & Forecasts for 2025
Pakistan's real estate sector remains a major contributor to the national economy. In 2025, the industry is evolving with improved regulations, digital adoption, and growing interest from both local and overseas investors. While some regions face stagnation due to unapproved developments, several approved housing schemes are thriving with strong buyer confidence and sustainable demand. This article explores the current state of real estate in Pakistan and emerging trends for 2025 and highlights two major projects attracting attention: Faisal Town Phase 2 Sector O and DHA Gandhara. The real estate market in 2025 is showing signs of cautious growth, especially in approved and well-planned projects. Key observations include: Moderate price appreciation in leading societies (5%–12% year-over-year) Rise in construction activity in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi Growing interest in housing projects near infrastructure corridors Improved legal frameworks from CDA, LDA, RDA, and other authorities Increased participation of overseas Pakistanis due to transparent processes Investors are becoming more selective, preferring societies with clear legal status, strategic locations, and timely development. 1. Demand for Approved Housing Projects Buyers now prefer projects with NOC approvals and legal clearance. Societies such as DHA, Bahria Town, Faisal Town, and Capital Smart City continue to dominate due to their trustworthiness and professional development approach. 2. Infrastructure-Driven Growth Projects near motorways, airports, ring roads, and CPEC routes are gaining value. Accessibility and connectivity are now key factors for both end-users and investors. 3. Digital Transformation The rise of real estate websites, online booking platforms, and digital marketing has changed how properties are bought and sold. Overseas Pakistanis, in particular, are benefiting from digital tools that simplify remote investments. 4. Preference for Mid-Sized Residential Plots Five and ten marla plots remain highly desirable due to their affordability and suitability for small-to-medium families. Faisal Town Phase 2, developed by Zedem International, is one of the most reliable and active housing projects near Islamabad. Sector O is a key block that is gaining attention for its excellent location, master planning, and affordability. Key Advantages of Sector O: Located near Thalian Interchange on the M-2 Motorway Easy access to Islamabad International Airport Internal connectivity to major roads within the society Offers 5, 7, 10 marla and 1 kanal plots Planned layout with parks, mosques, and public areas Early-stage pricing with promising returns Sector O is ideal for both long-term investors and those looking to build homes in a peaceful, well-connected area. DHA Gandhara is one of the most anticipated new launches in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Being a project under DHA management, it carries the assurance of secure investment and quality development. Highlights of DHA Gandhara: Located near Sangjani and Margalla Avenue Extension Backed by DHA's experience and brand value Offers pre-launch pricing for early investors Master planning includes green areas, commercial zones, and gated security High potential for both residential and commercial development This project is particularly appealing for investors looking for long-term appreciation and families seeking a modern lifestyle in a secure environment. Looking ahead, experts suggest the following outlook: Approved societies will continue to attract majority investments New housing societies near urban centers will see steady price growth Regulatory reforms will discourage illegal or unplanned developments Smart cities and vertical housing will rise, especially in major cities Overseas investment will remain strong due to improved transparency The real estate sector in Pakistan during 2025 is stable, regulated, and increasingly focused on quality. Societies like Faisal Town Phase 2 Sector O and DHA Gandhara represent the future of reliable and planned development. For investors and buyers alike, focusing on approved projects with trusted developers and prime locations is key to success in the current market. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
